Initial analysis

The 66-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 201-235 Arballo Dr, owned by California State University and constructed in 1942, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety events over the years. Most notably, there was a concentrated effort to address roofing issues between 2005-2006, with multiple permits totaling over $56,000 for reroofing work. In 2012, three electric vehicle chargers were installed on the property, representing an upgrade to the building's infrastructure.

The building has experienced multiple maintenance challenges, particularly in 2011-2012, when residents reported issues including water intrusion, mold development, problems with weatherproofing, and various building surface deteriorations. These issues were formally documented in building violations and complaints, though records indicate they were eventually abated. A 2010 violation regarding an unpermitted boiler operation was also addressed. Routine housing inspections have been conducted regularly, with the most recent inspections occurring in 2014. The building has experienced several incidents requiring fire department response, primarily involving smoke detector activations, cooking-related incidents, and smoke scares, though none resulted in injuries or significant damage. Recent records show typical urban issues around the property, including noise complaints, parking violations, and maintenance concerns, with the most recent documented cases from late 2024 involving health inspections, graffiti, and other neighborhood issues.

Risk rating

How 201-235 Arballo Dr's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 31 buildings in this neighborhood, 4 are predicted to be safer.
